Global fertility decline has made reproduction a site of reactionary family policies and moralized childlessness. But a healthy society would let people choose to have children or not without turning that choice into a moral adjudication.

Read Jason's response to UnHerd Magazine's "Woke 2.0" here: https://open.substack.com/pub/jmylesoftir/p/the-crisis-papers-issue-15-even-though?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer
There has been no contemporary slang term more misused than woke. It means everything and nothing all at once. It’s a term whose vagueness is its political utility.
Woke has become shorthand for “liberal outrage” and identity politics. I am not, and have never been a fan of woke in that sense. But, the term has been applied to so many different things that when someone starts complaining about wokeness, you have to guess what they mean.
Pronouns? Bathrooms? Civil Rights?

You can read Adolph's book on Jesse Jackson here: https://www.amazon.com/Jesse-Jackson.../dp/0300035527
How did Jesse Jackson – who had never run in an election and had only recently registered to vote – become the black candidate for the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination? What does his campaign show about the dynamics that drive Afro-American political activity? What is the true political legacy for the man that trained under King and had Al Sharpton as a protege?
We'll discuss with Adolph Reed, Jr. who wrote about Jackson's first presidental campaign.

You can find Dr. McCoy's book here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/.../2631-cold-war-on-five...
Transforming battlegrounds in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into veritable hellscapes, the surrogate wars of the Cold War era left behind a legacy of collective trauma and social conflict that have persisted into the present. In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history.
McCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanizing the history of the Cold War—a history that has too often been told in impersonal terms of economic growth, nuclear arsenals, or diplomatic ententes.
As today’s great powers devote humanity’s scarce resources toward ratcheting up a “new cold war” in the face of a worsening climate crisis, McCoy’s history is an important reminder that otherwise- ordinary individuals once helped end a global conflict that threatened nuclear holocaust.

READ RYAN'S ARTICLE IN UNHERD MAGAZINE HERE: https://unherd.com/.../influencers-and-ai-will-fill-the.../
With print journalism on the decline who will pick up the slack? Influencers who care not for fact checking since engagement means more than accuracy? Many magazines are using A.I. writers as well--what challenges does this pose for a hypolitized public?
We'll discuss.
